“Taking time out of my day to do something for someone so they have one less thing to worry about felt great,” said Marcus Powell, NRHH member and resident assistant in SIUE’s Evergreen Hall. “Nothing at that moment was more important than making sure the families were well taken care of.”
Volunteers included Laura Minor, Quran Green, Courtney Gross, Kelsey Fark, Mitch Zurliene, Katie Krieshok, Marcus Powell, Stephanie Garriott, Frank Shadwell and Alyiah Butler, along with NRHH advisors McKenzie Whitaker and Alexis Paladini.
